Joby Aviation and United Airlines Target 2026 for Texas Air Taxi Service Launch
Joby Aviation, in partnership with United Airlines, is planning to launch an electric air taxi service in major Texas cities by 2026. The service will utilize Joby's electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft to provide rapid transit between key locations, including airports and downtown areas. This initiative aims to offer a faster and more sustainable transportation alternative in congested urban centers like Houston, Dallas, and Austin. The plan represents a significant step forward in the development of the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) market. The collaboration will combine Joby's aircraft technology with United's operational experience to build out the new network.
